SPRINGFIELD, MO – The Springfield Cardinals opened second-half play with a 9-4 loss to the Arkansas Travelers on Tuesday night. After knocking off the Travelers atop the North Division first-half standings on Sunday, the Travs picked up the victory behind Hogan Windish, who homered four times.

Decisions:

W: Peyton Alford (2-1)

L: Edwin Nuñez (0-5)

Notables:

  • Matt Lloyd homered in the bottom of the first, marking three straight games with a home run. It's the second time in his pro career he has completed the feat, last occurring June 28 - July 2, 2019 (Billings Mustangs, Rookie-Ball, CIN).
  • RJ Yeager hit a two-run homer in the eighth. Springfield has hit six in their last four games.
  • Arkansas' Windish drove in nine runs against Springfield with four home runs: a grand slam, a pair of two-run homers and a solo homer. Nine runs driven in is the most by a Springfield opponent in a single game this season. The previous high was set by Northwest Arkansas' Peyton Wilson who drove in six on May 7 at Hammons Field. It is the first time an opposing player has hit four home runs against the Springfield Cardinals in franchise history (since 2005).
  • The Cardinals have not won at Hammons Field since May 25, exactly one month ago.
